Escotto was concerned and spoke to the Banyan Elementary School Principal Cheri Davis about her concerns.

Davis told her that Aaron's teacher, Rosalba Suarez, a 33-year veteran teacher had been named teacher of the year at the school in Westchester.

Davis told Escotto that she needed proof that Suarez was bullying her son since Aaron's word was not enough, so she bought a recorder and placed it in her son's backpack for four days and recorded 32 hours of audio.
